After ten long years, it's finally time to re-evaluate the weakest Ty the Tasmanian Tiger game! Ty 3 introduces many new ideas, both good and bad. Is it as terrible as I remember? Is there anything worth salvaging? Let's see what we can learn from Ty's most infamous adventure!

Seeing James change his views on the series and the channel's growth has encouraged me to look at games in a more positive light.

@dasantihero2827 Ай бұрын

That's the best part of the channel imo, he has this positive way of looking at games while not being shy to point out the negatives. Sure, there's some stinkers he's looked at over the years, but it's pretty awesome seeing him cover games in a positive light in a landscape where negative looks at media tend to draw more eyes.

@puffythedestroyer8878 Ай бұрын

They already did years ago on the steam release as seen in the video. Kart racing has been fixed (enough at least): the controls are improved, the rubber-banding isn't as aggressive, And Quinkan enemies where updated to be vulnerable to ranged attacks (mele is no longer required, if you don’t desire to. in fact, explosive rangs (2 earth-stones) can instatnly kill most enemies.) Still odd they didn't port it over to modern consoles yet... guess it must be more expesnive.

they have made a statement on why they haven't done as much with 3, I forgot if it was budget or losing source code but I know they said it in one of their Steam announcements

@@puffythedestroyer8878 Just throwing rangs to beat Quinkan? Well, the game becomes less fun if you do it that way. Sorry, I've just grown to hate simplicity, because I just don't want that personally. Yeah, button mashing can be a little tiresome, but I like having elaborate combat, and in Ty 3, it's actually decent, despite James not liking it. The Gunyip stuff being written out would just make me hate the game, because I don't want the whole thing to be just ONE thing, ONE type of adventure, and that's it.

@puffythedestroyer8878 Ай бұрын

I personally like the approach Sly cooper games take starting with the second one, where it's trading blows, dodges & counters that could potentially draw more unwanted attention if you don't take a dude out quickly. In a more direct example The Jak games have a fun "One-Two-punch" where you can use one of your gun-modes to follow up your mele attack. Ty 3's is a little bit basic in boring in execution, but i understand the thought process behind it's conception, "different enemies, different requirements" etc..

Fun fact: I actually asked Krome about the minions hanging around with Karlos, aka the cat girl and bunny guy. I don't have the exact wording on hand, but it was along the lines of Karlos leading a band of wastelander-style outcasts in the aftermath of Cass's fall. Of course the studio went through a lot of trouble and a Ty 4 proper was never made to capitalize on that.

@TheAggro74 Ай бұрын

what's ironic is that the Devil May Cry games also have (for the most part) a single button tied to melee attacks. Difference being that there's also different combos based on changing your button timing, which imo is a really smart way to teach the player to not button mash.

Never got a chance to play it, cause it wasn't released here, and being a big kingdom hearts fan, just seeing those quinkan designs always had me intruiged visually...but I knew you didn't like your old videos on them yourself anymore, so, been hoping for you to make a new one so I can see what the game is like.

What is interesting is that Ty 3 never released outside Australia & North America when it released back in 2005 & 2006. Europe, Asia, Africa & South America didn’t get it until 13 years later with the Steam port in 2018, 3 years after Ty 4 released. This meant if you lived outside Australia & NA (That includes me, as I live in Europe), you got Ty 4 before Ty 3.

It is really fun to see you talk about your old videos and how you changed your opinion on a lot of aspects of them. I think at that time there was a big focus on like "mediocre and try hard is the worst thing a game could be", which affected a lot of reviews.

Didn't finish watching the video yet, but given that the section about melee combat being tedious is this long, I gotta say this: 1. Quinkan come in different colours, each colour immune to a certain element. You can totally kill quinkan by throwing rangs at them, you just need to have the right element equipped in your rang. 2. Afaik, all quinkan vulnerable to earth element, so once you have access to earth runes, you can start building your homing-explosive-multithrow rang of death and totally nullify the challenge of the game, as far as the combat goes anyway.

When you were taling about the movement and combat having to feel good in both aspects. It reminded me of this older platformer. I cannot for the life of me remember its name, but it did this thing where the controls would change depending on if you were engaged in combat or not. On paper it sounds great, different move sets....in practice it was TERRIBLE. Oh my god. The jump was standard fair, High floaty jump for platforming, but in combat the jump button became this quick dash. What counted as combat? what would switch the controls? I couldnt play it long enough to figure it out. I just remember being in a platform section with enemies firing and having my nice big jump to an easy platform turning into a quick dash to my death. over and over again.

@TheMasterJay Ай бұрын

The only 3D platformer game I can think of at the moment that switches your controls based on if you were in combat or not is this game called Kya: Dark Lineage, but I'm not sure if that's the one you had in mind. As far as I can say on that game, combat could've been handled better but it wasn't the worst thing ever.

I remember playing the first three Ty games as a kid and I remember liking this game fine, but I think I liked playing the first two games more, especially Ty 2. With that said if they ever do a re-release for something like Switch or PS5, I might pick it up along with the first two games since I haven't played those games in years due to me and my family sold them a long time ago. I did play Ty 4 last year and it was fine, but if they ever do make a Ty 5. I would be pretty excited to see Ty don those rangs another time. Anyways, solid video as usual. I really like the way you break down and analyze the games you review while sneaking in some pretty funny comedy. That bit where you did an impression of Lenny the Lyrebird got a good laugh out of me. I look forward to seeing what you have planned for us next.

Love your inputs on it, and that the devs listened to your feedback! Love when devs are tuned in to what the fans of their games say. And that talk with Ty 4 Gunyip just reminds me of all the havoc raised about Jak and Daxter The Lost Frontier. I haven't gotten to playimg it yet (I have them all, but I've only played 1-3), but I'm hesitant due to the bad chatter about it. Maybe someday, but it'd be cool to see your take om the Jak series now that Ty's done with! But hey, your channel, your decision, and I'll still watch your content all the same. Love your stuff, my guy! Keep doing what you're doing 😊

I played through all these games with my mom as a kid, we used to try and race through to see who could 100% them first and I have a ton of fond memories of the whole series, real fun to watch you go through them all again :D

This was my most anticipated video from you since you first reviewed the Ty series years ago, and it’s an hour long Today is a good day

Fantastic video James. This was really cool to watch. Thank you for all your efforts 🙏😃

You made the game look pretty cool at certain points. It feels like they were trying to make a Ratchet and Clank game with like half the budget Insomniac had. I never played Ty 3 growing up, despite owning and playing the first 2 games a lot, and the custom boomerang mechanic actually makes me want to play this game sometime, despite some of the other issues.

“Oh I’ve done it once or twice.” “Well now we’re doing it THREE TIMES.” seriously that line goes so hard I like that you acknowledged that

I really appreciate the dedication to redoing the trilogy. The older reviews were some of the first videos of yours I ever saw. I liked them enough that I subscribed, but I'll definitely say your mindset in these newer reviews is refreshing.

Eyy, he's reviewing Ty 3 again it's nice to see him re-review it after so many years. Cause I remember he was pretty negative in the first review and I'm glad that he's opinion did changed over the years. While I do agree it's flawed I played Ty 3 when it first came out and I enjoyed it. I thought the Quikan were a cool idea as the main enemies since they are based off the paintings from the aborigines. The soundtrack still slaps with one song that plays when you leave the town for the first time being my favorite.

I THINK there was a statement somewhere on why Ty 3 hasn't been given the HD port treatment yet? My brain is wanting to say it's related to sales of the others and/or if enough people ask for it, but I don't 100% remember.

@zeldagameryt4018 Ай бұрын

I’d figure they haven’t released it yet for the same reason they haven’t released Sam and Max Season 3 remastered. They rather focus on effort and fixing what needed to be fixed rather than just pushing a game out without doing anything of value

I really like how the world was done in these games, I remember playing a lot of Ty 2 as a kid on the PS2, never really played the 3rd entry though. Great job on re-reviewing them all! Out of all 3 games after seeing the videos, Ty 3 is the one that deserves more work put into it than just polishing it, maybe even some new content for Ty to go around with, as well as fixing some of the pacing issues with the gunyips

19:04 This is kinda why I think keeping the Santa belief for your kids is important. Gets them to ask questions when they're older. When they figure it out, they realize not to be believe everything at face value. Anyway, great video, Nitro. Appreciate it.
